Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade

Prepare for a cauldron of grave-digging delights as the stars of the Haunted Mansion steal the spotlight in this fiendishly fun procession. Boo-lovers beware—you’re sure to have a scare-tastic time! Parades are held at 8:15pm and 11:15pm each night during the party and the second parade is typically the least crowded.
Celebrate the Magic
Disney villains, including Maleficent, Ursula, Jafar, Cruella de Vil and Oogie Boogie, are projected onto Cinderella’s castle each party night before the Happy HalloWishes Fireworks.
Happy HalloWishes Fireworks
